FOR NATURAL GAS OR COAL.
There can be nothing handsomer in iron than
the Garland parlor stoves shown on the main
floor Of the Exposition Building by George E.
Feeney, the local agent aud dealer No 80 West
Washington street. There is wide variety OF
styles; all are beautiful, being elegantly en-
bellished Their beauty. however, Is not their
chief merit, for they are the most economical
fuel consumers in the market, while being the
greatest heaters. These beautiful stoves are
readily adapted to the use of natural gas and
are ornamental TO any room.
Garland kitchen ranges arc also shown and
their superiority Is at once evident. James w
